So a 45 gallon tank is very deep for the amount of water it has and I was struggling getting water movement and oxygen pushed through the whole system so I added aerators . I hate aerators so I went with a Wavemaker. I’ve also read that clownfish aren’t a huge fan of too much current.
The question is do these fish look stressed or like they don’t like it? I know how to tell when people are stressed but fish show a little less obvious expression.
PS: every time I look at my tank from a distance for a split second I think my wife surprised me with a Dory she would never do that and my tank is too small but still, a guy can dream.

They don't look stressed. You made the right decision to go with the wavemaker.

The fish look fine to me. In fact, fish like to play in the flow, new hobbyists often mistake it for stress. That looks like a small tunze turbelle, my own 40 gallon has 2 gyres set at 50%, plus the return pump, and I also added another tunze powerhead behind my rocks. Flow is good for the health of an aquarium.
